<p>All of those schools are tough to transfer into, but you have impressive HS stats and ECs and a strong GPA at a good school, so I would say you have as a good a chance as anyone. Just try to do the best you can this semester and write strong, specific essays about why each school is a good fit for you and you for it. Good luck!!</p>
